1962 Galaxie 500 Club Sedan
This Ford Galaxie 500 “Club Sedan” is the lowest production of all full-size Fords in 1962. This is a choice example of a rare and seldom-seen car -- a low-mileage survivor treated to a sympathetic restoration of all mechanical and cosmetic components.
This includes a professional rebuild of its 352 V8 (with an Autolite 4 bbl on a “390” intake), full servicing of its Cruise-O-Matic transmission and drivetrain, a new, correct “Dearborn Classics” interior, and comprehensive detailing ready for show or cruising.
Listen to FM tunes on its original radio with converter. All new aluminized exhaust features OEM-quiet mufflers and resonators, and fully “Dynamatted” floor pans mean quiet running.
A dry Southern car, it has never seen rust, body damage, or abuse. All original glass with Ford logos is in perfect condition. You must drive to appreciate; its tight, new-car feel will amaze.
From brakes to u-joints to differential, this car is completely sorted and will provide trouble-free service for years to come with normal maintenance.
The “Chesnut” paint is mostly new, all 5 wheels are painted the correct black with deluxe wheelcovers, and the trunk is detailed including the jack. Even the clock works.
Factory literature included. Not a perfect car -- but it’s hard to find one better than this.

Ford says C-Max mpg reduction has hurt sales
Tue, 22 Apr 2014The Ford C-Max is having a rough time. Sales for the five-door hybrid hatchback were down 39.1 percent in March to 2,295 cars, and sales from January through March were down 42.5 percent to 5,566 units. In an interview with The Detroit News, Ford Americas boss Joe Hinrichs places the blame on lowering the model's fuel economy rating.
"We're definitely seeing consideration on C-Max decline over time. We need to reinvest in the product because it's a great car," said Hinrichs to The Detroit News.
The company was hit with bad publicity over the C-Max when owners in multiple states filed class action lawsuits that alleged the cars weren't able to meet the stated fuel economy. Ford eventually re-rated the model from 47 miles per gallon city, highway and combined to 40 mpg city, 45 mpg highway and 43 mpg combined. To soften the blow of the change, the automaker sent checks to the owners to make up some of the difference. Initially, Ford claimed that demand remained strong for the hybrid. However, the latest sales figures and Hinrichs' statement seem to show the opposite.
Ford vandalizes the SEMA Show floor with 2014 Transit Connect
Tue, 05 Nov 2013The Ford booth here at SEMA is practically a 1970s throwback with all these customized vans sitting front and center. And we're completely fine with that. Take the black and yellow (black and yellow, black and yellow) 2014 Transit Connect from Mobsteel above. It's got a great stance, sits on steel wheels and has a pretty cool paint job and graphics package to boot.
Of course, that's not the only van you can see at the Ford booth. In fact, there are 10 Transit Connect vans on display from Ford here at SEMA, and you can see them all in our live gallery of high-res images above. Then, if you want to know more about each specific model, feel free to scroll down to read all about these vans in the official press release from Ford.
Ford Focus was best-selling nameplate in 2012
Tue, 09 Apr 2013Last August, Ford made a few waves by claiming that the Ford Focus was, at that point, the top-selling car in the world. The automaker failed to account for variations of the Toyota Corolla wearing a different name (such as the Auris and Matrix), however. With official data from Polk coming in now, Ford is able to say that the Focus was, in fact, the best-selling nameplate in the world last year.
Using new-car registrations (which doesn't factor in fleet sales), the Polk data shows that a total of more than one million Focus models around the world. Strong sales in the US and China have led to a 16 percent increase in year-over-year Focus sales from 2011 that helped to create even more of a gap between it and the second-best global seller, the Corolla.
Ford also had the Fiesta and F-Series listed in the top 10 for worldwide nameplates, but what's even more impressive is the fact that the F-Series is only sold in North America. Scroll down to see the list (compiled by Ford using Polk data) of the top global sellers last year and a press release from Ford.
